Hello everyone, im an official banded person. Ive been waiting for this since 2008 and finally I got it done. Surgery went well, so well they were laughing at me because I mention to them I could hear someone talking about the movie "Goonies", the nurse said ma'am you were talking in tge conversation as well . Lol. Right now im just sore, but I am doing everything they instructed me to. I just have billions of questions. One question how can we post a pic here but to show with our name.

Ok day 3 if my surgery. Having a hard time swallowing it seems I tend to swallow alot of air and it hurts going down my chest, even Water. Im wondering if my band is too tight? I started at 216 first appt then day of surgery i was 206 now im 201.2. Im not hungry just hurting from my back to my chest. Im barely taking 6oz of Protein Drink and like 4oz of broth one popsicle maybe 3oz of water or cystal light. Is this normal?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
